Tinder has taken the dating world by storm.
Yet,a new studysuggests this convenience might be coming at a cost to our mental health.
Im far from surprised at these findings.

The world of looks and money.
I dont buy into the myth that hot women only want handsome or rich men.
Ive won over plenty of them without having money or model looks.

However, if theres one place this hypothesis exists, its online.
On Tinder, we make decisions based on a few pictures and a short bio.
Many people make their mind up after the first photo.
Its certainly not playing to my strengths.
While my pretty-boy mates would boast about their Tinder rampages, Id be struggling to secure a match.
Of course, thisll affect your self-esteem.
Comparing yourself to others.
No matter how wealthy or jacked you are, comparing yourself to others will always feel crap.
Therell always be some dude with more money, bigger biceps, bluer eyes etc.
Its impossible to win.
The benefits of offline dating.
The alternative is teaching yourself to become brilliant at talking to women.
By quitting Tinder, I put more pressure on myself to speak to women in real life.
The last woman I slept with was a tall slender ballet dancer.
Whats the difference between me and them?
I had the balls to storm over and introduce myself.
Theres no other way I would have stood out among that many dudes.
Making the most of my me-time.
Once you get good at meeting women in real life, its arguably more time-efficient.
All activities that boost your mental state.
All I know is Ive never felt better about myself.
The benefits of removing it from my phone far outweigh the pitfalls.
